Virtual Villager Cards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nintendo Releases Series 5 of the Animal Crossing amiibo Cards

— November 17, 2021 — Pop Culture
Animal Crossing is a widely successful video game that keeps players intrigued by adding new accessories, such as amiibo cards, to help them achieve their desired island.

To kick off the newest update of the game, released earlier this month, the Series 5 amiibo cards have been released. Players can collect the new villagers added to the game like Shino, Sasha, Petri, and Ione, and the new Happy Homes Paradice DLC characters Niko and Wardell.

The amiibo cards come with six cards per pack. The cards will allow players to invite the villagers to their campsite on the island. The update has also included a cafe called 'The Roost' with an amiibo machine/telephone line that allows the players to invite the characters on the amiibo cards to sit down and have a coffee.

Animal Crossing fans can purchase the amiibo cards online on Amazon or at their local gaming retailer.
